Webflow has announced an exciting update for developers: GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) is now completely free for all users, including commercial use. This development, a result of Webflow’s collaboration with GSAP, significantly enhances the design and animation capabilities accessible to web developers. Key updates feature improvements to the GSAP SplitText plugin and simplified integration of GSAP plugins within the Webflow platform.
The latest GSAP 3.13 release comes with a comprehensive rewrite of the SplitText plugin, reducing its size by 50% and introducing 14 new features. These features include enhanced accessibility, responsive resplitting, and a standalone mode, all facilitating the creation of complex and interactive web animations with ease.

For those with prior Club GSAP memberships, this transition is seamless as they can continue using the tools without the need to renew memberships, as everything is now available in public repositories. Future enhancements are anticipated to further bolster users’ capabilities to craft advanced animations efficiently, fostering a more creative and productive web development environment.
